North Queensland Cowboys chief executive Peter Jourdain said his club has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the NRL's doping investigation but may take legal action over being dragged into the saga.

The Cowboys were one of six NRL clubs identified on Monday as being investigated by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) following last week's report into doping by the Australian Crime Commission.

"There has been no accusations at all made against the Cowboys, we've been asked to provide information," Jourdain said on Thursday.

"We have done that both verbally and formally. From my perspective I believe we have done all we have been asked so we feel quite comfortable with our position now."

But Jourdain said his club feels aggrieved by the process and will consult the Cowboys' legal representatives to consider whether the club takes any legal action over its name being dragged through the mud.

"I'm not sure why it needed to be so public," Jourdain said.

"I think we could have provided that information in about two hours on Monday afternoon."

Jourdain said he had made his grievances clear to the NRL.

ASADA was also invited by Canberra Raiders boss Don Furner to brief his players and staff on the doping investigation on Thursday.

'Cloud of suspicion'

Meanwhile, the New South Wales sports minister Graham Annesley says he wants answers from the Federal sports Minister Kate Lundy and the ACC.

State and territory sports ministers met in Melbourne this evening to discuss the state of sport in Australia amid the allegations of wide spread doping.

Mr Annesley says it is time to name names so that those in the wrong can be dealt with.

"I really want to find out today to what extent they have evidence, to what extent they have intelligence and then to discuss with my colleagues what the appropriate response might be," he said.

"My concern from day one has simply been that everyone's tarred with the same brush because there's a lack of detail in the public arena.

"At the moment, everyone's under a cloud of suspicion.

"If we are going to weed out anyone that's doing the wrong thing, we need to do that as quickly as possible, identify them and punish them if they're outside the rules so that the vast majority of athletes who are doing the right thing can have the suspicion lifted from them."
